Would Going On The View Help Blagojevich?

Rumor has it that IL Gov. Rod Blagojevich wants to appear on The View to tell his side of the story. The governor's public image is badly bruised right now, thanks to federal corruption charges, impeachment by the Illinois House, and an impending trial in the Illinois Senate. Blangojevich is ready to make his case to the country, and apparently he feels that Whoopi Goldberg has shown some sympathy for his predicament.
Blagojevich's previous statements may give us a preview of what he might say on national TV. He told the AP yesterday:

Dec. 9 to my family, to us, to me, is what Pearl Harbor Day was to the United States. It was a complete surprise, completely unexpected. And just like the United States prevailed in that, we’ll prevail in this.

Considering the governor's capacity to say outlandish things, an appearance on The View might get messy. Then again, maybe he just needs a chance to explain.

I am so tired of this man. What is the point of him still trying. He's clearly guilty. He needs to be charged, tried, and convicted. He's has Illinois embarrassed enough by his actions. They need to move onto new news, good news for their state. And if he was going to do a television show, then why not do a proper new show interview? NOT the view. They would never ask this man all the right questions because they would be trying to put a joke into most of their questions so the audience can laugh.

Out of all the reputable news/commentary shows there are on the television, why...oh why...would he choose The View? Does anyone watch that show on purpose? The last time I saw it, I was sitting in a waiting room at the hospital...listening to those hens squabble just about made me want to jab my eyes out with pencils...so...I voted "No. It would just make him look ridiculous."
